THE
MCRC MISSION STATEMENT

The
Managed Care Reform Council, MCRC provides support for the managed care
patient community, studies and compiles information, conducts research
related to the needs and care of the medical patient in all forms of
treatment, their families, caregivers or the bereaved.

We
believe
that it is the responsibility of each and every person to know all that
is possible about their medical diagnoses, care choices and all
possible treatments, therapies and medications. It is also the
responsibility of every parent, caregiver or person legally and morally
responsible for another person's medical care to know all that is
possible about their medical diagnoses, care choices and all possible
treatments, therapies and medications. Because in today's medical
world, you do not know if the provided medical care being suggested or
received is for the patient's well being or for a physician's personal
gain or is for an HMO to save more money at your expense.

It
is your
responsibility to make sure that you do everything possible to make
sure and insure, that whoever the patient is that they receive truly
necessary, adequate, useful medical care and treatment for their own
personal health and survival.

Nothing
less than educated, informed activism on the part of the legally
responsible person is acceptable today.

MCRC
is
incorporated as a California Public Benefit Non-profit Corporation and
contributions are tax deductible under IRS 501(c)(3).

Now
that
the CA Suicide law has been finalized by Governor Brown after little
publicity, there is now much publicity. Well - here is what
the
founder of the movement had to say about it all:

Derek
Humphry, cofounder of the Hemlock Society, now renamed
Compassion
and Choices, claimed "that money is the "unspoken argument"
in
favor of legalizing assisted suicide. Specifically, in his" book "Freedom to Die,
co-authored with Mary Clement, the authors write that "the hastened
demise of people with only a short time to left would free resources
for others," an amount they predict could run into the "hundreds of
billions of dollars." Moreover, the authors claim that "economic
necessity" is the ultimate force driving the assisted-suicide movement,
to the point that it "is the main answer to the question [about
legalizing PAS], 'Why Now?'""

"Logic
is
certainly on their side. With the advent of managed care, profits in
health care increasingly come from cutting costs. With assisted
suicides costing such little money, what "treatment" could be more cost
effective than assisted suicide? And since it is a well-known human
failing that our values often follow our pocketbooks, ignoring the
significant financial stakes involved in the assisted-suicide debate is
to overlook a crucial part of the story." by Wesley Smith of The
